'Blue Lines' (Massive Attack): Greatest ever album?

[Gorshin]

I'm really into this now. Totally perfect music for any mood. Soulful yet edgy with great production. It's the conoisseurs choice Anyone not like it/never heard it

Every track a mini masterpiece. As for 'Unfinished Sympathy', well, we're talking song of the 90s.

Will have to download this - my dog ate my original copy (true) forgotten how good it is until this post

It's certainly a seminal album of (soundtrack to?) the 90's!

Hard to believe that it was released as far back as 1991.

Certainly is a great album Don't know if it's the greatest all time album of all time though

However everyone will have their own thoughts no doubt.....

Great album, but its beginning to age a bit now IMO. Same as Spititualized - Ladies and Gents....... and Primal Screams- Screamadelica.

Not the greatest album of all time for me, I think thats probably split between Pet Sounds and Revolver (and yes, I know thats the critics choice, but, after spending years denying the fact, I've finally arrived at the same conclusion). I would put Nirvana - Nevermind in the same catagory, but will they be as well known as the Beatles or Beach Boys in another 20 years ? Id like to think so, but I wondered bet on it.

Forgot about that

Certainly the DVD is one of the best music DVDs

"Blue Lines" is definitely one of the major albums of the '90s. Long overdue for a good quality re-master methinks.

I'd LOVE to hear some demos/alternates/unreleased stuff from the era. Imagine a demo of 'Unfinished Sympathy'
